Bunny Quits Knitting Forever

Remember the gauge swatches? They lied. My sweater starts off with a long, narrow panel of lace and cabling, then I'm supposed to turn it sideways so it creates an empire waist and pick up the selvage stitches to do the top and bottom. Bunny is a large person. Larger than she ought to be. However, Dirtbunny is not seven feet around the middle, which is what her 134 repeats of cables and lace were going to end up. The gauge swatches lied. They are evil. So I quit. The end.
